* TheExtremistWasRight / VillainHasAPoint: The following ''Crows'' and ''Nikolai'' duologies illustrate just how terribly Grisha are treated around the world outside of Ravka (save for Novyi Zem) and how new developments in technology and warfare could either enslave or wipe them out altogether. ''The Witch of Duva'' and ''The Demon in the Woods'' take place in a time when Ravkan Grisha were forced to live as fugitives in fear of being slaughtered. Even at the time of the original trilogy a ''lot'' of non-magical Ravkan people still hate and fear the Grisha, despite the Second Army being all that stands between them and conquest by Fjerda or Shu Han; the Darkling was rightly worried that if the Shadow Fold were destroyed and the need for the Second Army diminished, Ravka might well have turned against its former protectors. In fact, when the Fold ''is'' destroyed things arguably become even worse for Ravka and its citizens, now that Fjerda and Shu Han can easily attack them; and Grisha are ''still'' discriminated against; at one point Zoya mentions certain towns forbid Grisha from owning property and will happily drive them from their homes. All of this serves to vindicate the Darkling's cause to make a ''truly'' safe place for Grisha. Plus he's had to endure numerous incompetent and corrupt Ravkan kings in the past, and the King he currently serves [[spoiler:and attempts to depose]], Alexander III, is genuinely awful.

* TheExtremistWasRight / VillainHasAPoint: The following ''Crows'' and ''Nikolai'' duologies illustrate just how terribly Grisha are treated around the world outside of Ravka (save for Novyi Zem) and how new developments in technology and warfare could either enslave or wipe them out altogether. ''The Witch of Duva'' and ''The Demon in the Woods'' take place in a time when Grisha, even in Ravka, were forced to live as fugitives in fear of being slaughtered. And even at the time of the original trilogy a ''lot'' of non-magical Ravkan people still hate and fear Grisha, despite the Second Army being all that stands between them and conquest by Fjerda or Shu Han; if the Shadow Fold had been destroyed and the need for the Second Army diminished, Ravka might well have turned against its former protectors.

Plus he's had to endure numerous incompetent and corrupt Ravkan kings in the past, and the King he currently serves [[spoiler:and attempts to depose]], Alexander III, is genuinely awful.
